Dated 9 March 2017

Mark Verbiest
Chairman

9 March 2017

Dear TeamTalk Shareholder,

I am pleased to confirm Spark’s Offer to acquire 100% of your TeamTalk shares at an Offer

price of NZ$0.80 per share.

1

I strongly believe that Spark’s Offer:

>>

Is in the best interests of TeamTalk shareholders, many of whom have seen the value

of their investment in TeamTalk erode significantly over recent years;

>>

Is more than fair, offering a very attractive and exceptionally high premium;

>>

Provides greater certainty to TeamTalk shareholders than possible alternatives; and

>>

Is unlikely to be matched by any competing bidders or a turnaround in TeamTalk’s

performance as a standalone publicly listed company.

Spark’s Offer provides certainty and a fair outcome for TeamTalk shareholders

Over the past 9 months, Spark has made repeated and genuine good-faith efforts to

engage with the TeamTalk Board. We have sought access to due diligence information,

giving the Board the opportunity to provide information that demonstrates the value of

the business. To date, Spark has been provided only limited information, which has not

materially changed our view on the value of the business.

Despite what Spark considers to be a lack of meaningful engagement by TeamTalk’s Board,

we are confirming our Offer at the price of NZ$0.80 per share. This Offer allows you as a

TeamTalk shareholder to achieve a price for your shares that is 78% higher than the last

closing price before Spark issued its Notice of Intention.

This 78% premium is one of the highest premiums over the pre-offer market price for any

Code takeover on the NZX in at least the last decade. Furthermore, Spark has determined

after further investigation to remove the condition related to Overseas Investment Office

consent from Spark's Offer.

Spark’s Offer therefore provides significantly greater and more immediate certainty than

the alternatives advocated by the TeamTalk Board, such as holding your shares in the belief

that performance will significantly improve, or a series of possible sales based on a break-up

of TeamTalk assets. If a break-up happened, there is no certainty that a higher price would

be achieved.

The TeamTalk business faces strong headwinds, impacting its financial performance

While TeamTalk has a proud history as a challenger within the New Zealand

telecommunications market, the market continues to change significantly and rapidly.

In particular:

>>

The development of a government subsidised fibre network (UFB) has created pressure

for the owners of competing fibre (including CityLink);

>>

At the same time, CityLink needs to invest significant sums to underground portions

of its Wellington fibre due to the retirement of the trolley-bus network;

>>

For retailers such as Farmside, a common input price (for copper and fibre) has led

to an intensely competitive broadband market;

>>

The extension of rural communication networks (delivered over high-speed copper and

mobile networks) has reduced the market for niche satellite services of the type offered

by Farmside; and

>>

The increasing coverage and performance of mobile networks has challenged the role

of mobile radio networks, a core element of TeamTalk’s business.

1. The entity making the offer is Spark New Zealand Trading Limited (‘Spark’), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spark New Zealand Limited.

The offer is made for 100% of the fully paid ordinary shares in TeamTalk Limited (‘TeamTalk’).

Chairman's letter

Page 1 | TEAMTALK FULL TAKEOVER OFFER

For TeamTalk, these challenges have resulted in a
series of earnings downgrades, as margins have come

under increasing pressure. This was again highlighted in

TeamTalk’s first half result for FY17, released on 1 March

2017. Compared with the first half result for FY16:

>>

EBITDA declined 5.4%, reflecting revenue decline

and cost increases;

>>

While TeamTalk highlighted growth in profit and

earnings per share, these improvements were not

driven by improved operating performance –

underlying net profit before tax was down materially;

2


>>

Farmside’s revenue declined 7.9%, and its EBITDA

declined 91.7%;

>>

Capital expenditure more than doubled from $2.6m

to $5.5m, with the majority of this capital expenditure

occurring in the poorly performing Farmside division.

The Board has also indicated the need to fund significant

capital requirements across TeamTalk in the coming years.

Despite having recently agreed terms for a new banking

facility, TeamTalk remains close to its banking limits (with

total borrowings of $33.9m

3

and a facility limit of $35.0m

4

),

and must meet an agreed debt repayment schedule.

TeamTalk has indicated that it will consider a resumption

of dividends in 2018, however its ability to do so appears

to us to be limited given its 1H17 financial result, current

debt levels, large reduction in debt targeted by June 2018,

and future capital expenditure requirements per TeamTalk’s

own guidance.

5

We do not believe TeamTalk can deliver a better

outcome for its shareholders than Spark’s Offer

Combined, and in the absence of new information, these

factors must create significant uncertainty for TeamTalk

shareholders. We believe that without Spark’s Offer

to acquire the business, you could reasonably expect

TeamTalk’s share price to fall significantly. We do not

believe that TeamTalk will be able to deliver the required

turnaround in performance to generate a better outcome

for shareholders than Spark’s Offer.

Chairman's letter

2. Reported profit and earnings per share includes realised and non-realised gains/

(losses) on the fair value of TeamTalk’s finance derivatives. These movements are

driven by changes in interest rates and not operating performance. Removal of

these in both periods (a $451k gain in 1H17 and a loss of $75k in 1H16)

meant Net Profit Before Tax was down 16.6% between 1H17 and 1H16.

3. As at 31 December 2016.

4. As announced by TTK at 3.01pm on 28 February 2017.

5. TeamTalk’s 1H17 result presentation stated a 33% target reduction in debt for the

June 2016 to June 2018 period, and provided guidance that capital expenditure

for FY17 to FY20 would be 12-14% of revenue to enable transformation of the

mobile radio and fibre networks.

The TeamTalk Board has suggested there is significant

value in the business above Spark’s Offer price, based on

its new strategic business plan. At the time of preparing this

document for you, we have yet to see any evidence of the

new business plan, or receive a copy of it from the TeamTalk

Board. TeamTalk’s business plan could take many years to

deliver value for your shares equivalent to Spark’s Offer,

with no certainty that it ever will. We also note that no

other proposals for a partial or full sale of TeamTalk have

been put to shareholders since Spark issued its Notice

of Intention, and there is no certainty that any alternative

offers to Spark’s will eventuate.

We hope that you will choose to accept our Offer

by 22nd April 2017

We hope that you will choose to accept our Offer, and we

encourage you to read the Offer documentation carefully

before you do so. Unless it is extended in accordance

with the Takeovers Code, our Offer closes at 11:59pm

on 22nd April 2017. We encourage you to accept as

soon as possible.

Please note that the Offer is subject to a number of

conditions, including a minimum acceptance condition

and other conditions outlined in Section 4 of this Offer

Document. Spark has reserved the right to waive any

condition to the extent permitted by law, including the

90% minimum acceptance condition.

This document details the next steps and the actions we

would like you to take. If you have any questions, or would

like to discuss our Offer in more detail, please contact your

financial advisor or Link Market Services. You can register

for updates at SparkOffer@linkmarketservices.co.nz.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Verbiest

6. VWAP means the volume weighted

average price at which TeamTalk

Shares have traded on the NZX Main

Board for the relevant period. VWAP

is calculated as the total dollar value

of shares traded, divided by the total

volume (or number) of shares traded

during the period referred to. VWAPs

 of February 2017.

Page 6 | TEAMTALK FULL TAKEOVER OFFER

TEAMTALK SHARES HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
UNDERPERFORMED RELATIVE TO THE

NEW ZEALAND MARKET OVER THE LAST

THREE YEARS. TEAMTALK’S SHARE PRICE

HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY OPERATIONAL ISSUES

AND MULTIPLE EARNINGS DOWNGRADES.

>>

Over the last three years, TeamTalk shares have delivered significantly lower total

returns for investors than the NZX50 gross return index on a Total Shareholder

Return (TSR) basis.

8


>>

On this measure, TeamTalk shares have returned negative 72.2% over the past

three years, compared to positive 46.3% returned by the NZX50 gross return

index during the same time period.

>>

TeamTalk’s share price has also been impacted by a number of profit downgrades

and other negative announcements over the last three years. Over the last three

years TeamTalk’s share price has declined 78.0%.

>>

In July and August 2016, the TeamTalk board commissioned a strategic review

and appointed a new CEO and CFO, but to date that strategy has not delivered

material value to TeamTalk’s shareholders.

>>

This Offer allows TeamTalk Shareholders who have held shares over that period

the opportunity to make up some of this underperformance.

2.

Examples of earnings

downgrades and

other negative

announcements include:

7TH JUNE 2013:

FY13 update – 2013 full year

earnings expectations reduced.

26TH FEBRUARY 2014:

dividend payments reduced.

Why you should accept this Offer
TEAMTALK FACES A NUMBER OF BUSINESS

CHANGES AND CHALLENGES, WHICH REPRESENT

SUBSTANTIAL NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTY, AND

ARE LIKELY TO HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON

THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE BUSINESS.

>>

Migration to RBI / upgraded satellite services: TeamTalk has faced a significant

challenge from the Government’s “Rural Broadband Initiative” ("RBI") – a

Government program to ensure rural New Zealanders have access to faster

and more reliable internet access. This has created competition for TeamTalk’s

Farmside satellite broadband product, impacting Farmside's financial performance.

• RBI solutions offer faster speeds and have a lower capital cost, and as such,

TeamTalk has been forced to migrate customers to RBI solutions.

• The effect of each customer migration is a decline in TeamTalk’s revenue,

capital expenditure incurred, and a write-off of any remaining value in its

satellite installation.

• For context, Farmside EBITDA decreased from NZ$2.5m in FY15 to NZ$1.4m

in FY16, and TeamTalk recognised a NZ$1.8m impairment of fixed assets and

inventory and a NZ$1.0m impairment of goodwill in FY16.

• Further cost, capital expenditure and impairments are expected as TeamTalk

continues to migrate customers to RBI and begins migration to a new alternative

satellite supplier. The timing and magnitude of these costs are uncertain and

have not been articulated by the company. This is likely to negatively impact

TeamTalk’s future value.

>>

Migration of parts of TeamTalk’s Wellington fibre network: TeamTalk has stated

that CityLink will need to migrate parts of its Wellington fibre network off the city’s

trolley bus infrastructure (as that part of Wellington’s transport network will be

replaced over the next few years).

• TeamTalk has indicated this will be a “major, multi-million dollar undertaking”,

but, again, the timing and magnitude of the financial impact on TeamTalk has

not been articulated. This is likely to negatively impact TeamTalk’s future value.

3.

Page 8 | TEAMTALK FULL TAKEOVER OFFER

THE OFFER CONSIDERATION IS ALL CASH FOR
100% OF YOUR SHARES AND REPRESENTS AN

ATTRACTIVE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL.

>>

The consideration offered to TeamTalk shareholders is 100% cash, and Spark’s Offer

is for all of your TeamTalk shares.

>>

If you accept the Offer and the Offer becomes unconditional, you will be paid the

consideration for your TeamTalk shares in New Zealand dollars no later than seven

days after the latest of the date on which your acceptance is received, the closing

date and the date on which the Offer is declared unconditional. The Offer provides

you the ability to sell your shareholding in TeamTalk at an attractive price. TeamTalk’s

lack of liquidity means that, should you wish to sell your TeamTalk shares on-market

at any point, you may struggle to find a buyer at the price you wish to sell.

• For a number of years there has been limited liquidity in TeamTalk shares. In the

12 months up to and including 3/2/2017, there was an average of 21,630

10

shares

traded per day (representing 0.10% of TeamTalk’s current free float shares

outstanding

11

and an average daily trading value of NZ$11,882)

12

.

>>

You will not incur any brokerage costs in relation to the sale of your TeamTalk shares

under the Offer.

SPARK’S OFFER IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY OFFER

AVAILABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS, AND IN THE

ABSENCE OF THIS OFFER, THE TEAMTALK SHARE

PRICE IS LIKELY TO TRADE AT A MATERIAL

DISCOUNT TO THE OFFER PRICE.

>>

Spark believes that no other competing offer is likely to be forthcoming given

the absence of any other offers during a prolonged period of underperformance

by TeamTalk, as evidenced by the 78.0% decline in TeamTalk’s share price over the

past three years.

>>

Should the Offer not proceed, Spark believes that it is likely that the TeamTalk share

price will trade materially below the Offer price. The last time the TeamTalk share

price was at or above $0.80 was 24/09/2015 and it has consistently been below

$0.80 since that date.

3.5 Legal and beneficial ownership, and title, to the TeamTalk

Shares which are the subject of an acceptance of the Offer

shall pass to Spark, and the registration of the transfer of

those TeamTalk Shares shall take place, contemporaneously

with the consideration for such TeamTalk Shares being

sent in accordance with clause 2.2.

3.6 Spark may choose to engage the services of one

or more Primary Market Participants (in terms of the

NZX Participant Rules) or other financial advisory firms

("Brokers") to contact holders of TeamTalk Shares and

receive acceptance forms for TeamTalk Shares. If Spark

chooses to do this, the key terms of engagement will

be as follows:

(a) for each completed and valid Acceptance Form

procured by a Broker, Spark may pay to that Broker

a handling or procurement fee in respect of the

TeamTalk Shares the subject of the Acceptance Form

("Procurement Fee"). The amount of the Procurement

Fee will be 2.00% of the consideration payable

by Spark under this Offer to the relevant Acceptor

in respect of the Acceptance Form received.

The Procurement Fee will be subject to a minimum

amount of $50 and a maximum amount of $750 for

a single Acceptance Form inclusive of GST, if any;

(b) the Broker will be paid, and receive, the Procurement

Fee solely in connection with its services to Spark

and must not, directly or indirectly, pass any or all

of the Procurement Fee on to any Acceptor, or share

the Procurement Fee with any Acceptor;

(c) the payment of a Procurement Fee to a Broker

in respect of an Acceptance Form procured by

that Broker is in all respects conditional on the

TeamTalk Shares, which are the subject of that

Acceptance Form, being validly transferred to Spark.

No Procurement Fees will be payable if this Offer

is not declared unconditional by Spark. In addition,

the Acceptance Form must be delivered to Spark in

accordance with clause 7 and, unless Spark in its sole

discretion determines otherwise, must be stamped

by the Broker (and only that Broker). A Procurement

Fee will not be paid in respect of TeamTalk Shares

acquired by Spark through the compulsory

acquisition provisions set out in Part 7 of the

Takeovers Code;

(d) Brokers are precluded from receipt of any

Procurement Fee in respect of TeamTalk Shares

in which they or their associates have a relevant

interest (as defined in Part 5 of the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013);

(e) Spark may, in determining the Procurement Fee

payable to a Broker, aggregate and/or disregard

any acceptance of this Offer procured by that Broker

if Spark believes that a party has structured holdings

of TeamTalk Shares for the purpose or with the

effect of enabling parties to take advantage of the

arrangements summarised in this clause 3.6; and

(f) Spark will determine, in its sole discretion, any

disputes relating to the payment of a Procurement

Fee. The determination of Spark will be final and

binding on all parties.

Page 15 | TEAMTALK FULL TAKEOVER OFFER

4.2(b) and 4.3 have been inserted for the benefit of Spark

and may, to the extent they are capable of being waived

at its absolute discretion. Any waiver or consent given by

Spark in respect of any matter or thing shall apply only

in accordance with its terms and shall not constitute a

consent or waiver in respect of any similar matter or thing.

4.6 To the extent required by the Takeovers Code, where

any Condition set out in clause 4.1 and 4.3 requires

a determination as to whether a matter is or could

or not, is in the ordinary course of business or not,

is consistent or not, is of a formal or technical nature

TeamTalk's business during the period that begins

on the Notice Date and ends on the Condition Date.

5. CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

5.1 If, on or after the Notice Date, TeamTalk declares or pays

any dividend or makes any other distribution of whatever

nature whatsoever to the TeamTalk Shareholders (and the

condition contained in clause 4.1(a) is waived by Spark),

Acceptors will be bound to pay to Spark an amount

equivalent to such dividend or the value of such other

distribution or, at the option of Spark, the price which

would otherwise have been paid to each Acceptor will

be reduced by an amount equivalent to such dividend

or the value of such other distribution.

5.2 If, on or after the Notice Date, TeamTalk makes any issue

of shares or convertible shares or other securities or

grants any other rights or interests to the TeamTalk

Shareholders by way of bonus issue (and the condition

contained in clause 4.1(b)(i) or (iii) is waived by Spark),

TeamTalk Shareholders accepting the Offer will be bound

to transfer such shares or convertible shares, other

securities or other rights and interests to Spark and the

consideration per TeamTalk Share provided for under

clause 2 will be reduced to take account of such issue.

5.3 If all or any of the TeamTalk Shares are consolidated or

subdivided on or after the Notice Date (and the condition

contained in clause 4.1(b)(ii) is waived by Spark), then

the Offer will be interpreted to take into account such

consolidation or subdivision and will be deemed to

be for the shares resulting from such consolidation or

subdivision and the consideration per TeamTalk Share

provided for under clause 2 will be increased or reduced,

as the case may require, in proportion to such consolidation

or subdivision, and TeamTalk Shareholders will be bound

to transfer such consolidated or subdivided TeamTalk

Shares to Spark on the basis of the consideration per

share so increased or reduced.

5.4 If TeamTalk makes any issue of shares to any person on

or after the Notice Date other than by way of bonus issue

(and the condition contained in clause 4.1(b)(i) is waived

by Spark), then the Offer will be deemed to extend to

and include such shares and the consideration payable

for them will be as provided in clause 2.

(c) Spark's intentions about material changes to the

business activities or material assets of TeamTalk are:

(i) to conduct a strategic integration review and

assessment of the TeamTalk business with the

likely intention of implementing synergy and

cost out initiatives; and

(ii) to focus on growing TeamTalk’s business,

leveraging Spark’s unique capabilities and

sector expertise.

(d) Based on the strategic review of the business,

Spark may consider divestments and/or changes

to the structure of or capital structure of TeamTalk

(including changes to TeamTalk's dividend policy,

raising additional capital and/or taking on debt).

(e) If Spark does not receive sufficient acceptances

under the Offer to enable the compulsory acquisition

provisions of the Takeovers Code to be invoked,

but nevertheless declares the Offer unconditional,

the extent to which Spark will be able to implement

its intentions as described above in relation to the

TeamTalk Group will be subject to:

(i) the outcome of the Offer and the size of

Spark's shareholding at that time;

(ii) limitations or restrictions contained in the

Companies Act and the NZX Listing Rules,

in particular in relation to related party

transactions and conflicts of interests; and

(iii) the legal obligations and duties of the directors

and officers of TeamTalk.

(f) The foregoing statements of intention represent

Spark's current intentions in relation to TeamTalk's

business are based on information that has been

publicly released by TeamTalk and is known to Spark

at the time of preparation of this Offer Document.

Spark reserves the right to take any other action or

pursue any other strategy in relation to TeamTalk's

business depending on the business and economic

environment and any other relevant circumstances

applicable post acquisition.

(g) Spark has not had the opportunity to conduct a

standard due diligence process in relation to the

TeamTalk Group and does not, at this time, have

access to the detailed information concerning the

TeamTalk Group that would be required to make

a final determination regarding its intentions for

the TeamTalk Group. Spark requests that TeamTalk

permit Spark to undertake sufficient due diligence

of selected TeamTalk information. Spark expects

that this information would be provided under

confidentiality arrangements with TeamTalk. Only

upon completion of the Offer and a detailed review

of the TeamTalk Group, and in light of all material

facts and circumstances, will Spark finally determine

its intentions for the TeamTalk Group and will take

the action it considers desirable to achieve

appropriate integration and synergies.

(h) The statements made by Spark in this paragraph 13

are consistent with information that has been given

by Spark to any regulatory body (in New Zealand or

in an overseas jurisdiction) in relation to the Offer.
